Full description for For the Love of God

• "For the Love of God" is a provocative and inspiring reinterpretation of six essential Biblical texts. Attempting to understand 'some of the wildest, strangest, most splendid writing in Western tradition', Alicia Suskin Ostriker shows how the Bible embraces sexuality and skepticism, boundary crossing and challenges to authority, how it illuminates the human psyche and mirrors our own violent times, and how it asks us to make difficult choices in the quest for justice.
